The performer known as Blowfly is a singular phenomenon in the annals of American music: born Clarence Reid, in 1939, in the middle part of the 20th century he was a Southern R&B mover and shaker, writing soulful songs for artists like Betty Wright and later dipping his hand into the Miami disco scene, working with KC and the Sunshine Band.

As his alter ego Blowfly, Reid also spent decades releasing some of the most hilarious, unprintable music-slash-comedy ever put to wax, including funky, X-rated rewrites of hit songs. In 2006, the “original dirty rapper” gave several punk-rock classics the Blowfly treatment on “Blowfly’s Punk Rock Party,” released on Jello Biafra’s Alternative Tentacles label. These days, in his early 70’s, Blowfly brings the nasty funk and potty-mouth while clad in a spangly, iridescent superhero outfit, complete with cape; in 2010, the documentary film “The Weird World Of Blowfly” explored his long, strange legacy.

The nightclub Siberia is particularly pleased to welcome Blowfly back, as last time the performer visited, his superhero mask was lost. It has been found, club reps say, and will be returned.
